Shochu, a Japanese spirit can be a bit unknown to many spirit enthusiasts, and no doubt Iichiko plans to change that perspective. Today, we review iichiko and let you know what to expect. You may find shochu is a good alternative to vodka in a cocktail as it adds a bit more heritage and influence than a more over-filtered neutral grained spirit while doing it with a bit lower proof. If you want to avoid the "vodka burn" and are okay with half the proof, iichiko may be a good alternative. Get our Whiskey Snifters: http://bit.ly/XUCcKR

Watch us layer the Luger shot! We have 3 ingredients for this one, all layered and it seems order won't matter because they find a way to layer. In our case, we end up splitting a layer. Leaning Shots: http://bit.ly/YVfEiU Gravity Release Jigger: http://bit.ly/YGIDkF And yes, we know that not all the ingredients are actually made in Germany. And, it really does not have any amber waves of grain and yeah, it is just a crazy shooter which will leave you wanting..."a moment." Now, go drink it, winter is coming... The Lugar 1/3 oz.

The Cruzan, this will get you all sorts of messed up. Fruit juices, coconut and a punch of alcohol in the finish. That's the recipe for the cruzan so run out and make this one. If you can't find Cruzan rum, I will not tell anyone, use your favorite or most accessible brand. The Cruzan 1 oz. Cruzan Pineapple, 2 oz. Cruzan Coconut, 4 oz. Orange Juice, 1 1/2 oz.

The Minooka Sunset, it's a play on the Tequila Sunrise name no doubt but has a bit more natural less-sweet flavor that really brings fourth the tequila essence. The Hand Blown Tiki Glass: http://bit.ly/119416j Unlike the Tequila Sunrise which seems set to drown out the flavor of tequila, our Suerte tequila really cut through the juices to bring an all together good flavor with a slightly off-dry finish.

Amber Dream, a cocktail that will fill the room with the fine flavors of peppermint. It may even unclog pores, cure sickness and perhaps can be used as a mace alternative to spraying people in the face. Perhaps it can wash off the smell of skunk off your cloths or skin?

The vaportini, a product that brings a spirit to you through the air. The concept is easy: warm up your favorite spirit so it takes air, trap the airborne alcohol and breath it in. Drinking your spirits with your lungs, while the concept is simple the creation is a bit more difficult and the vaportini was designed to make it accessible in a well crafted manner. Thoughts? Niche but cool? Should we carry them at awesomedrinks.com?
Today you'll see a shooter created with five layers, it is like a 5-layer burrito but with cocktail stuff! The Recipe: 1/2 oz. Grenadine, 1/2 oz. Coffee Liqueur, 1/2 oz. Creme de Banana, 1/2 oz. Irish Cream, 1/2 oz. Brandy.
